Hellooooooooo!
I know, I know, I know... I start a blog, then I stop blogging for two weeks. Consider my hand smacked. I've been having a lot of thoughts, but I just haven't had the energy to post them, if I can be honest.
The heat kills me. I love summer, and I love my little pool (which I really should post a picture of soon). The problem is that earlier in the summer (May) I got home earlier since I wasn't driving from Cleveland, and I could enjoy the pool in the afternoon. Now, though, I get home later, and the sun isn't as high when I get home. The sun wouldn't be a big deal except that the pool ends up in the shadow of our house so it's not as much fun. I still enjoy my pool days on the weekends, though. The weather has been moderately cooperative so I have averaged a pool day a weekend the last few weeks. I'll be sad when it cools down and we have to take it down.
I've been watching Big Brother again this year, and I have my husband into it now. He enjoys it, and he gets excited when I do (when drama goes on, of course!) so that makes it more fun for me. I don't watch the live feeds, but I do read the blogs to catch up daily. It's fun. I know what's happening before it's on TV--it's like I can see the future! :D
Work is, well, work. Some days are great, and others are not so much. I had a phone interview and a face-to-face interview with a company that would get me back into food manufacturing. We were supposed to schedule a second face-to-face the end of last week, but their schedules didn't work out. They said we would reschedule this week, but I haven't heard anything yet. I won't get into why I don't think this job is a good fit for me, but I will say I have felt it since day one. I had just hoped it was being overwhelmed with a new role and environment, but I'm thinking that's not the case. I may change my mind, but, for now, I'm just casually looking to see what's out there. I really do wish, though, that I could settle down with a company and have a fulfilling career in my field. That's the dream, right?
Football has started back in full swing so I'm a football widow again. Husband doesn't get home until around 8:30 or so. I try to tell myself that I will use the time to study for my exam, but I haven't done so yet. I have, however, been studying on my lunch breaks. That's part of why I haven't been blogging. I'm trying to be productive. I'd hate to fail and have to pay another $400 for it!!
I recently discovered that I was having some very bad side effects from a medication that I'd taken since January. It was causing depression, anxiety, and irritability. I feel a lot better since being off of it, but now it's the task of finding a replacement medication that is difficult. Anything is better than that, though.
I haven't been working out much the last week (only once), but today I'm going to get back on the wagon. I am down about 9 lbs (it was 11, but I gained 2 since I wasn't working out). I keep waiting to be one of those people who loves to workout, but, yeah, I'm not there. :)
So that's an update on me. Sorry I haven't blogged, but I've been drained recently. I blame my job. Fingers crossed things get better one way or another.
